Hello my lovelies! I hope you are at peace today and enjoying yourselves. I bring to you today these 3 most delightful candles from Aroma Candle Shop based out of Los Angeles. These beauties are handmade soy candles and come in a variety of flavour/scents. My three choices were Bergamot/Tarragon, Cannabis Flower, & Amber Noir. I’m excited to share my thoughts and photo’s with you below!

So first I must start with the most sexiest candle I have ever come across. My GOODNESS. The Amber Noir is something I feel we should all experience. The sweet, musky, richness of the scent of this candle is honestly so divine my words will never be able to describe how mmmm YUMMY this smells. It smells like.. a very posh, expensive condo. The smell of success and wealth. The smell of the most sexy human on the planet. Amber Noir includes sweet and sultry fusion of vanilla, rich amber, musk and sandalwood. I am a true lover of everything amber and am more than pleased with this first candle! This is the perfect candle for in the bedroom 😉

The next candle which we are all probably a bit curious about is the Cannabis Flower candle. As this does not smell like the full cannabis flower as you would think, this candle has beautiful tones of fern and earth in it. It is quite floral and delicate smelling which is very pleasant to the nose. This would be a great scent for the living room as it is calming and subtle.

The last divine candle that I have here is the Bergamot & Tarragon candle. Smelling refreshing and rejuvenating with hints of tarragon leaves, grapefruit and lime – complimented by bergamot aroma with notes of oakmoss and bamboo this is perfect for the bathroom and kitchen areas. Having the refreshing scent that is does, this candle smells uplifting and peaceful.

These candles run for $12.83 on etsy, they are made in reusable jars for when the candles are done. These candles are dye free and made from all natural USA soy wax.

“Our hand-poured candles are made with biodegradable, renewable, water soluble soy wax, essential and fragrance oils and a eco-cotton wick. We support American farmers by using wax made from U.S. grown crops. ”

Good afternoon my lovely beans, today I have a special post review for you! I recently teamed up with Jessica Johnston from Voodoo Herbals to showcase and review some of her all natural, cruelty free, river friendly and homemade goodies! I was able to do a short interview with Jessica so we could get to know her a bit better!

Miz Lulu (ML) : Where you are from and where are your products are made?

Voodoo Herbals (VH): Im from a tiny little town in Oregon called Grass Valley population less than 100. My products are made at my house (for now).

ML: Where your passion comes from to create these products?

VH: I find it unbelievable how many nasty harsh chemicals are found in damn near everything. I was giving my daughter a bath one day and started reading the shampoo label and realized I couldn’t pronounce a quarter of what was in it and that really motivated me to make the bath and beauty products I have (with many many more on the way). As for the herbal remedies I make, I remember my grandma always had a herb for everything while I was growing up, and once I grew up (now living 100s of miles from grandma) I still use some of her remedies today. Where we live we do not have access to doctors, hospitals or grocery stores unless you want to make a 2 hour trip. simple things like cough medicine or ointments or really anything….. doesnt come to easily out here so I learned to make them myself 🙂

ML: What is your occupation other than an etsy store owner?

VH: Oh gosh lol so much. I am the chief of flags at Oregon Raceway Park, I run Voodoo Herbs on and off Etsy, part time housekeeping for some businesses around the county, full time mommy, and a micro farmer/ homesteader. I stay pretty busy 🙂

ML: How long has Voodoo Herbal been going for?

VH: Almost a year 🙂 it will be one year in July

ML: What made you choose the name Voodoo Herbal?

VH: The name was actually chosen for me. I had been making herbal remedies for friends, family, and neighbors for awhile and they would all tease me calling me a voodoo woman as a joke because everything I would make them usually helped out really well with whatever they needed it for. So when it came time for me to pick a name for my shop i asked everyone what it should be and everyone picked Voodoo Herbs/Herbal so it just kinda stuck.

ML: What are you doing on your days you’re not taking orders and creating products!

VH: Well if i’m not working at the racetrack or for the shop I am usually home taking care of my daughters (ages 2 and 8) and taking care of the homestead and animals. I also do a lot of gardening, canning, and I even sometimes crochet if I have the time lol. Its never ending work but its so worth it.

I’ve been using this soap for about a week now, Jessica offers custom natural goat milk soap bars with a huge list of scent options. I received the Amber/Goat Milk Soap bar which I am absolutely in love with! Amber is one of my favourite scents of all time and mixes so nicely together with the goats milk. Every time I wash my hands I can’t stop smelling them >.< So yummy!

Check out all the different scents & herbs for pre-made and custom goat milk soap bars!

“If you have a particular scent or scents you would like added message me with your request and we will make it happen for you. All soaps have added shea butter to keep skin moist. The sample bar gives you a good amount of uses so you can try before you buy a full bar :)”The next items I have here are 3 custom bathbomb’s in “Lemongrass”, “Cinnamon Spice” and “Cupcake”. I’ve already used the Lemongrass one which I really enjoyed, I have some video footage of it in my favourites video I will have live on my youtube shortly! These are super adorable and make baths super fun ^.^

I use this even if I don’t have a headache because I love the smell so much 😛 The other she included was a “Frankincense & Cinnamon” which I really enjoy the two together! I’m a bit of a cinnamon fan, so I could be smellin’ on this all day in my cinnamon spice bath later tonight! MMMM CINNAMON GOODNESS ❤
